Welcome to the Catamount Family!

The University of Vermont's staff and faculty are committed to ensuring your student's college experience is positive and successful throughout their four years. College is a time of great discovery and growth; it can also be challenging and at times overwhelming. Our primary objective is to assist you and your student during this important phase.

Our intent is to make the UVM campus a "home away from home" by offering a full range of services and resources. We are always available to answer questions and discuss difficult situations that families or students may find challenging. 

We invite you to contact our office with any questions or concerns at anytime during your student's UVM career.

Catamount Family Newsletter

The Catamount Family Newsletter is UVM's consistent outreach to undergraduate families, developed by the Division of Student Affairs and including content from over a dozen different offices. Read previous issues of the newsletter, update your contact information, and learn more about our approach to connecting with families.
